The most recent iteration featuring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born tells a deeply emotional story of a musician who helps a young singer find fame as age and alcoholism send his own career into a downward spiral. It resonates with audiences much like Flora and Son for its powerful performances and poignant music-centric narrative.

Starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, Music and Lyrics follows a washed-up former pop star as he's given a few days to compose a chart-topping hit for an aspiring teen sensation. The blend of romance and music composition makes it comparable to Flora and Son.

Directed by John Carney, who also directed Flora and Son, Once is an intimate musical drama about an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant drawn together by their shared love of music. The heartfelt performances and organic storytelling make Once a natural follow-up for fans of Flora and Son.

Crazy Heart features Jeff Bridges in an Oscar-winning role as a down-and-out country music singer who's trying to turn his life around. The film's exploration of redemption through music and its character-driven narrative align with the themes presented in Flora and Son.
